"Dawgg Days Of Colorado Summer has begun!" ---

Tuesday
July 15, 2007

Since my last post of finds, going's been tough and pickings slim! I like early morning hunts but by 10am, the heat is definitely on. I've been concentrating on one particular area that has produced in the past but never ample-ly. I did manage to find a nice gold on silver plated pendant with more than likely CZ stones and some sort of Indian pendant. Sadly, I gouged the backside getting it from 8 inches beneath the ground. The rest of my take is nothing special. The ring is El Cheapo; I doubt the lady cried when it was lost. And, the studded wrist band was found on the ground surrounded by about ten Lincoln pennies. A weird dude lives near by and it was probably his Satanic gift to the Metal Detecting Gods!

My new White's DFX arrived today along with a 5" and 12" coil. I'm anxious to give it a go but will have to wait until tomorrow as life beckons!

COIN COUNT:
56 Lincolns
02 Nickels
09 Dimes
04 Quarters
06 Wheats (1916D-1922D-1926D-1929-1942-S-1944)
01 Copper Slug
TOTAL 77 COINS VALUE $2.62 cents

That isn't an Indian pendant... it's an old Christian pendant. The X with the P through is the Greek lettering for Chi Rho. The Chi Rho is one of the earliest cruciform symbols used by Christians. It is formed by superimposing the first two letters of the word "Christ" in Greek, chi = ch and rho = r. Although not technically a cross, the Chi Rho invokes the crucifixion of Jesus as well as symbolizing His status as the Christ.

And the the one on the left is the Greek letter for Alpha (the Beginning) and the one on the right is the Greek letter for Omega (the End)... in reference to God.

Religious medallion; now that makes sense!
It has a Phoenix on the reverse side also.

Nice pile of loot you have, the next time solid gold will be waiting for you to find it.

That looks like a US Army rifle marksmanship qualification badge on the leather studded item. It's of the sharpshooter class distinguished by the 2 circles in the middle.

Thanks for sharing and HH.

YOu hunt int he morning in Colorado because the heat is on.

Yet I COME to Colorado because it is so COOL. I hunt during the day and it is GREAT.

LOLOL.

I guess that's because I'm in Phoenix, and the morning temperature is about 92 when i gte up (the "Cool" part of the day) and by the afternoon it is about 115. As I type this, it says it is 111 out there.

I guess it all depends on your viewpoint. :-)

Good hunting. Where did you find all these things? (Type of place, not an exact location, of course)

Hey Guys, I spent 30 plus years in Texas so I know hot!
Colorado's nice because at least one knows it will cool off at night. I'm yet to turn the a/c in the house on but the wife's beginning to toss around subtle hints such as "We're eatting cold cuts until the heat's off!"

John,
I've been visiting an old church in the area with an adjacent ball park; got to love those churches!
